Li Hongzhang, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, one of the main leaders of the foreign affairs movement, a native of Modian Township, Feidong County (now divided into Yaohai District, Hefei City), was mostly honored by the world as Li Zhongtang, shaoquan (泉), and in his later years he called himself Yi Shu (宜叟), nicknamed Provincial Heart, and Yuwen Zhong.
Together with Bismarck and Grant, he was called "the three great men of the world in the nineteenth century". Li Hongzhang lived and studied in Feidong as a teenager, and later began to recruit Huaijun from Feidong, Feixi, Chaohu and other places, and gradually reached the peak of power. There are many stories about him, among which there is a famous dish named after him, that is, the world-famous Li Hongzhang smorgasbord.
In the twenty-second year of the Qing Dynasty (1896), Li Hongzhang was ordered to Russia to attend the coronation ceremony of Emperor Nicholas II. Li Hongzhang took this opportunity to go abroad to communicate with the world's great powers and learn from other people's development experience.
Therefore, he went all the way from European countries to the United States, ate Western food for more than two months, and his appetite was really unbearable, and as soon as he arrived at the US Embassy, he called for a Chinese emblem dish to be burned to entertain American guests. Unexpectedly, Chinese food is very popular, and even after eating for several hours, foreigners are still eating with relish, and they have the appearance of eating all the dishes.
At this time, the head chef said to him: "Lord Zhongtang, the dish has been eaten, only the scraps are left, and I can't get my hands on it, what should I do?" After a little thought, Li Hongzhang said: "Mix the scraps together and stew it, and bring it up in a large basin." After a while, a large pot of steaming vegetables was brought to the table, the aroma was fragrant, the foreigners rushed to eat it, they all shouted after tasting it, they asked the name of the dish, Li Hongzhang could not answer for a while, but said: "Delicious and delicious!" ”
"Delicious and delicious" is pronounced similarly to The English chowder (Hotchpotch), and since then "smorgasbord" has spread in the United States, and the dish has been named "Li Hongzhang Smorgasbord".
